Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails
WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the basis that the article may meet
WP:FOOTYN which explicitly states that it no longer applies to players.

I am also nominating the following article for the same reason.

Keep - meets
WP:FOOTYN as has played on fully professional team. The requirement is a fully professional team, not a fully professional league - Conference National is a mostly-professional league.

Delete Doesn't meet
WP:NFOOTY. NFOOTY doesn't have the word "team" in it. It does say league, "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league".

Delete - fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NFOOTBALL. I suggest @
Nfitz: that you actually read the guidelines you quote in future.

Delete Nfitz does not understand
WP:NFOOTY, which states that a player must have played in "a fully professional league", not for a fully-professional club. The Conference Premier is not fully professional (or even mostly professional), so he fails it.

Delete Both – neither player has played in a fully professional league, failing
WP:NFOOTY, and in neither case is there evidence of sufficient notability to meet the general notability guideline. C679 20:31, 19 January 2014 (UTC)reply
